An abstract model for compressions
Two symmetries of affine type for any mapping acting between Banach spaces are described and studied. These symmetries translate certain structural properties of boundary value problems for differential operators to an abstract setting.
We prove that the theorem of Egorov, on the canonical transformation of symbols of pseudodifferential operators conjugated by Fourier integral operators, can be sharpened. The main result is that the statement of Egorov's theorem remains true if, instead of just considering the principal symbols in Sm/Sm-1 for the pseudodifferential operators, one uses refined principal symbols in Sm/Sm-2, which for classical operators correspond simply to the principal plus the subprincipal symbol, and can generally...
Proteus mirabilis are bacteria that make strikingly regular spatial-temporal patterns on agar surfaces. In this paper we investigate a mathematical model that has been shown to display these structures when solved numerically. The model consists of an ordinary differential equation coupled with a partial differential equation involving a first-order hyperbolic aging term together with nonlinear degenerate diffusion. The system is shown to admit global weak solutions.
A Banach algebra homomorphism on the convolution algebra of integrable functions is the essence of Kisyński's equivalent formulation of the Hille-Yosida theorem for analytic semigroups. For the study of implicit evolution equations the notion of empathy happens to be more appropriate than that of semigroup. This approach is based upon the intertwining of two families of evolution operators and two families of pseudo-resolvents. In this paper we show that the Kisyński approach can be adapted to empathy...
We introduce a weaker version of the polynomial Daugavet property: a Banach space X has the alternative polynomial Daugavet property (APDP) if every weakly compact polynomial P: X → X satisfies . We study the stability of the APDP by c₀-, - and ℓ₁-sums of Banach spaces. As a consequence, we obtain examples of Banach spaces with the APDP, namely and C(K,X), where X has the APDP.
We create a new family of Banach spaces, the James-Schreier spaces, by amalgamating two important classical Banach spaces: James' quasi-reflexive Banach space on the one hand and Schreier's Banach space giving a counterexample to the Banach-Saks property on the other. We then investigate the properties of these James-Schreier spaces, paying particular attention to how key properties of their 'ancestors' (that is, the James space and the Schreier space) are expressed in them. Our main results include...
